"Speaker Johnson, you’re obsessing about losing the House but don’t seem to realize it’s because you have no program for the country other than illegal disastrous tariffs, illegal disastrous war and humiliating invertebrate submission to your unraveling cult master." - Rep. Jamie Raskin

Trump really ought to walk through the Senate chamber buck naked tomorrow and demand that Thune conduct a vote on whether he’s clothed. The vote would be 52-47 yea, with Murkowski joining the Democrats as a no and Collins saying she’s too concerned to vote.

live your life in such a way that the entire world isn’t waiting to see your accursed name pried off every building

Are y'all getting it yet?

I know when we’ll see a lot of ‘em.

@neildegrassetyson.com: "The relationship of the executive branch and science has never been as devastating as it has been under the current administration... We will sink lower economically, in our health, our wealth & our security, until everyone wakes up and is reminded how important science is."

Cuba is already preparing a list of everything it wants in Trump's upcoming "Art of the Deal" total surrender.

Trump’s mean tweets are still capable of swinging a primary in Kentucky. His approval rating is barely above drinking age and he will never be on the ballot again. His second term is already an abject failure. Other than that he’s killing it!

In order to stay ahead of the curve here, I'd like to note that the U.S. has no grounds to invade Cuba, arrest or change its leaders, take control or directly influence its actions or, for that matter, to be blockading it right now forcing its people to suffer. Nor is any of that in our interest.

What happened to the $10b Trump allocated for this ridiculous boondoggle?

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

This amazing image really captures the Tennessee fight and it's all over the internet. I am reposting it to encourage people to credit photographer Nicole Hester and the Tennessean.

It’s astounding that Zelensky survived a full-scale war without ever having a ballroom.

Louisiana governor plans to suspend May primary to redraw US House map, Washington Post reports | Reuters

This was at sunrise, in New Orleans.

I don’t think the political party that’s spent 30 years telling us ‘actually everyone should have guns, no restrictions ’ should try and pin the blame for political violence on the party that’s been saying ‘more guns is bad and we should have some common sense limits’ for 30 years.

It's #Stunday and I think pitcher plants are stunning. Especially when viewed on a perfectly foggy morning while walking through a pristine bog in North Florida. Leave your cell phones in the truck, there's no service out there. #photography #landscape #ECK #Sarracenia #PitcherPlants #bogs

"This is an important thing to think about."

More of this, less of bombing other countries (From @acyn.bsky.social )

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Bluebird posting will continue until morale improves

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

. Funny how this works . . . .

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

Whatever happens, this is a deeply shameful episode in American history that will leave a permanent stain on the country. Repeatedly vowing to commit war crimes against millions of innocent civilians is beyond the pale.

Veep is a documentary

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Amazing how quickly the “party of small government” has morphed into the party of “imperiously all up in everyone’s shit all the time.”

the president of the United States is a madman seriously damaging the entire world

PRESIDENT: "We should have a national database of all legal US gun owners." CONSERVATIVES: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! THAT IS UNAMERICAN!! YOU CAN'T TRACK AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! IT'S AGAINST OUR LIBERTY!!!!" PRESIDENT: "We will have a national database of all legal US voters." CONSERVATIVES: [yawn]

a few more weeks of this, trump’s going to release the rest of the epstein files to distract from the war in iran.

Donald Trump taking to social media, where anyone can see everything, to desperately cajole our allies into helping him get out of the mess he created, instead of using private diplomatic channels, is a testament to how crass and amateurish our foreign policy is under the short-fingered vulgarian.

I think there’s actually kind of a broader doomsday scenario where the general ethos of “it’ll all work out” that has pervaded institutions during Trump 2.0 gives way, and everyone looks around and realizes a criminal madman is running the US, like the moment Wil E. Coyote looks down
